Join us as Tao Xie, Professor and Willett Faculty Scholar in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and ACM Distinguished Speaker, talks about Intelligent Software Engineering: Synergy between AI and Software Engineering. This is a joint meeting hosted by Chicago Chapter ACM / Loyola University Computer Science Department.

As an example of exploiting the synergy between AI and software engineering, the field of intelligent software engineering has emerged with various advances in recent years. Such field broadly addresses issues on intelligent [software engineering] and [intelligence software] engineering. The former, intelligent [software engineering], focuses on instilling intelligence in approaches developed to address various software engineering tasks to accomplish high effectiveness and efficiency. The latter, [intelligence software] engineering, focuses on addressing various software engineering tasks for intelligence software, e.g., AI software. This talk will discuss recent research and future directions in the field of intelligent software engineering.
